ADDITIONAL NOTES

1. The five random draws included with the dataset can be used with Rubin's formula to account for uncertainty in the estimate when the variable is used in regression analysis.
2. Mean and standard deviation of the posterior distribution estimate for latent variable can be used to generate new random draws to account for uncertainty in measurement.
